Community safety in relation to alcohol and anti-social behaviour is of high importance to Tamworth Regional Council.

Some of the actions Council is taking to reduce problems around late night drinking and anti social behaviour in CBD areas include:

• Council has sought feedback from the community through a survey
• Council is working on a CBD Strategy aimed at reducing the incidence of alcohol-related crime
• Council has established a secure taxi rank in Brisbane Street, Tamworth (with the support of funding from the NSW Department of Justice and Attorney General) to ensure the safety of community members catching taxis late at night on Friday and Saturday nights
• Council, in conjunction with Tamworth Police, the Tamworth and District Chamber of Commerce and other key stakeholders, have introduced CCTV in the Tamworth CBD as an ongoing crime prevention initiative
